• Gisilbehrt would offer you some advice regarding your investigation.

• In order to win the trust of the Ala Mhigan refugees, Gisilbehrt suggests that you find a compatriot of theirs who would be willing to vouch for you. Return to Vesper Bay in western Thanalan, and consult Minfilia within the Waking Sands.

• Minfilia informs you that there is an Ala Mhigan native among the Scions. Hopefully, this will lead to a breakthrough in your investigation.

Dialogue

Accepting the Quest

Gisilbehrt: So you're determined to press on with your investigation? Then I have some advice to offer. 
Gisilbehrt: As I said before, you won't get far without the Ala Mhigans' trust. And the best way to win that trust is to get a compatriot of theirs─someone they respect─to vouch for you. 
Gisilbehrt: Coin does the talking in Ul'dah, but the Ala Mhigans are bound by something far stronger, if not as tangible: a common purpose. That purpose is, of course, the liberation of their home from the Garleans.  
Gisilbehrt: Gundobald belongs to the Ala Mhigan Resistance, so your best bet would be someone who's part of the same crew. If you know any well-connected people, you might want to start by asking them. 

Speaking with Minfilia

Minfilia: Welcome back, [First name]! How fares the investigation? 
Minfilia: ...I see. Given all that they have suffered, it is of little wonder the Ala Mhigan refugees have lost faith in their fellow man. 
Minfilia: They have had their homeland taken from them, and for the past two decades have had to see it remain in the enemy's clutches. 
Minfilia: To compound matters, none of the three city-states have the means to take in all those who were displaced. As a result, a great many Ala Mhigans now live on the margins of society, suffering poverty and discrimination. 
Minfilia: <sigh> Would that more could be done to ease their hardships. I fear that nothing short of reclaiming their homeland would be a lasting solution. 
Minfilia: But let us deal with one problem at a time. Returning to the matter of your investigation, it just so happens there is an Ala Mhigan native among the Scions. I should be pleased to introduce him to you.
